Different, there's a slight reference in the first 5 min of the game but that's all.
How far are you into it? Im 2 hours in and the gameplay definitely feels RE-esque.
its both of those things. I can go into specifics if you want.

Anyone on the fence should really just make the jump if you are unsure about it being faithful to Resident Evil's roots. Hell the first 30 seconds pay tribute, but Jesus does it crank the heat up and turn into the Resident Evil we've neede for years. This is worth every fucking penny so far.
The atmosphere is just so heavy!

I hope no VR support is not something all the dlc is going to suffer with.

Might be still high on adrenaline, but I think it might be one of my favorite openings ever. Awesome Evil Dead homages aside, it was so perfectly paced, an excellent blend of scary, intense, and over-the-topYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Welcome to the motherfucking family indded, holy shit at that first hour
I assume there is no way to avoidright? I fiddled with RT instead of holding it so I was wonderinggetting your hand chopped off

not really a spoiler but
its an area from the start of the game but the first hour demo had it's own mini event going on, the full game uses the same area in a different way
I completely disagree. Other than RE1, this is the only game where the "Resident Evil" name actually fits.
it is one of the best openers in a videogame Ive ever played, and im not even that much of a RE fan (I like them fine, but im not hardcore or anything, hell Remake did little for me recently).
It needed a late title card after the
"welcome to the family son"
Well, apparently the tapes do work in VR, so most story content can still be experienced that way. No clue why the modes would be locked to no-VR, though.
Oh okay. I usually avoid demos that are just a part of the game, but since it's different i'll probably play it while i wait to get the game.

It's how I feel too, the game is really well done and has a few classic nods and sound effects but it's weird that it's also a numbered sequel.
I would have
loved to have seen more zombie creatures then what instead reminds me of leech men from zero in this game but they work well enough

Reading these thoughts from you guys is making my hype meter go off the scale.
I hope my copy has arrived and I cannot for the next 2 and half hours of work to go by so I can get home and try it out.

I think I have an issue here...
Played the Teaser on PC and got the coin that was supposed to carry over to the full game.
cut to now and playing the full game...I've seen others say you're supposed to get a little pop-up or something saying it's unlocked once you start RE7...I never got anything saying I had unlocked that demo coin.
Anyone else having the same problem or am I just screwed on this?

I am thinking about buying it based off of how much I liked the demo and the impressions here. Anyone know how it runs on a rx 470? Also cdkeys version is region free right?
Anyone notice how strikingly odd the background looked right the start of the game, when you were able to move the camera and look around as you pulled into the Baker property.
Everything outside of the car looked like FMV, like some 70's film stock, it had a really stark bleached golden/sepia tone to it. It looked like old VHS footage, first thing it reminded me of was of the car pulling into the cabin in the first Evil Dead (colour grading aside). Nothing else in the game looked quite like it.

This game is like the movie, "Don't Breathe", except instead of being locked in a house with a blind man, you're locked in with
It's great.
a bunch genetically altered weirdos.
Can't see anything?

can you explain the difference between the 2?

One lets you move the camera as in every other game - analog
One immediately snaps the camera X degrees to the side, so you wont see the turning movement. A lot easier on the VR eyes.

Then I don't understand what made old RE for you.

Nvm.
Based on what I have played I will say that this is pretty much akin to when RE4 came out and knocked everyone's socks off. Capcom has once again moved the series forward in that kind of way. And as much as I still love the older third person games and want more of them, I can safely say that I am glad that they did this. It's probably the most gruesome, twisted game I have ever played, but also still retains elements of RE at it's core.

It's unpacking and decrypting the game files. General rule of thumb is that you pre-load it at about 98% then on launch time, let it download the 2%, then there's no decrypting.

Yeah the timer for it finally started going down right after I posted haha. Not too long now. Panic over.
But thanks for the advic. I'll do that next time.

so analog is harder for VR? which one do you recommend? the movement is based on head movement of the controller?

I'm facing a big question. Is it good enough to spend my Gun Fix on the Handgun or the Shotgun?
My original shotgun looks good enough, but the police officer handgun feels like crap.
Way to many bullets spent on Molded

Analog (camera based on 1:1 stick movement) is very hard to swallow for people with even slight VR issues. Try both, maybe it doesnt affect you, though.

I'm picking up the game during lunch and install the patch so everything will be ready after work. Can't wait. Impressions sound amazing.

So streaming is working fine on ps4 now? I saw people last night say it was a problem.

I see you cant change difficulty mid game. Recommenadation? What's the difference in difficulties? Madhouse isn't hard on the frustrating bullshitty side is it?
